Primary 5 pupils attended the annual celebrations in Kirkwall marking the day when Norway received it’s first constitution and became an independent nation on 17th May 1814. Orkney has always had strong links with Norway and representatives from the County of Hordaland were there to celebrate the occasion along with those who had sailed across from Norway and children who had walked shorter distances from the local schools of Papdale and Glaitness. The entertainment was led by singers, dancers and fiddlers from St Andrews Primary School in the Orkney district of Tankerness.
All over Norway, children’s parades form the central elements of the celebration. Each elementary school arranges its own parade through the local community, led by the school’s own marching band and with an abundance of flags. You can read more by clicking on the following link:

We couldn’t go to the parade, so it was great to see it on video. Children from our school at St Andrews were singing, playing and dancing, and it was a special treat to see them taking part. I have sent the link to your site to my ftriend in Norway. She teaches Primary 6, and I thought they might like to see what happens in Orkney on Norwegian Constitution Day.
Thank you.
Thelma Holt and Primary 2 at St Andrews Primary School
